Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>A new World Bank assessment on South Sudan\u2019s renewable resources has found that the country\u2019s fisheries, forestry, and wildlife can generate more than a billion US dollars annually from investments if properly managed.<\/p>\n

The National Resource Review (NRR) report published Monday, said a modest improvement in the management of the fisheries sector and reducing postharvest losses could potentially generate tens of millions of dollars a year in added value for South Sudan.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a restoration of the teak plantation industry could generate close to $1 million per year and 150 jobs per 1,000 hectares on average, and with a third of South Sudan\u2019s potential for community forest management, the country could generate over $1 billion per year in sustainable revenue from nontimber forest products.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we all know about some of South Sudan\u2019s subsoil resources, oil, gold, but I think there\u2019s also a lot of green gold out there on the surface here,\u201d said Charles Undeland, World Bank Group Country Manager for South Sudan.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese assets are huge, including the world\u2019s largest wildlife migration and one of the world\u2019s largest freshwater fisheries. They\u2019re critically important for the planet, of course, but these natural resources are critically important for the people of South Sudan.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Undeland pointed out that South Sudan\u2019s remarkable natural assets have the potential to deliver major development benefits for its people.<\/p>\n

He added that managing these resources must be done wisely to maximize the benefits and ensure sustainability of these assets into the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cCommunity-based natural resources management and development of sustainable value chains offer important pathways to diversify away from dependence on oil while directly benefiting rural communities and supporting inclusive development in South Sudan.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the case of wildlife, the report highlighted that its restoration and management could benefit South Sudan by tens or hundreds of millions of dollars.<\/p>\n

The report added with a well-managed harvesting of migratory antelope populations in the Boma-Badingilo-Jonglei landscape (BBJL) alone, the country could reap could a sustainable annual offtake valued at round $61 million.<\/p>\n

Addressing the NRR report launch, Wildlife Minister Rezik Zechariah Hassan said his ministry and that of animal resources and fisheries play critical role in unleashing the country\u2019s natural wealth.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we talk about wildlife, which South Sudan is endowed with, it\u2019s unique and it\u2019s first of its kind globally,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have committed ourselves several times, even though we have some minor hindrances here and there, but I think hopefully, 2025 will be the maximum commitment of the government for the welfare of the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

In June 2024, President Salva Kiir announced that South Sudan has the world\u2019s largest land mammal migration following a survey conducted by African Parks \u2013 which estimated 5.8 million \u2013 about half the country\u2019s population.<\/p>\n

The Manager of the African Parks Network said South Sudan has the potential to become a global leader in wildlife conservation through the protection and preservation of its natural resources.<\/p>\n

The flourishing wildlife is equally facing significant threats due to rising commercial poaching, exacerbated by hunger, the prevalence of weapons and weak law enforcement.<\/p>\n

The wildlife conservation authorities have on multiple occasions, seized vehicles smuggling bushmeat and arresting suspected poachers.<\/p>\n
